After that, I'm usually in a much better space. I think what it usually means is that I'm just really flat-out tired, and I need to back off and relax.Lara Robinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01227145317891636668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20790706.post-4604858880600726402009-03-31T14:48:00.000-05:002009-03-31T14:48:00.000-05:00I've been in the same situation, and I have to say...I've been in the same situation, and I have to say there's nothing that I've done personally to be able to get the mojo back. I just kept running and eventually, a good run comes along! Keeping an open mind and not being to fatalistic going into each run definitely helps speed that process along though!Aileenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07747726548047410492noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20790706.post-41806760957968544912009-03-31T14:28:00.000-05:002009-03-31T14:28:00.000-05:00You just described my entire season Betsy! I kept...You just described my entire season Betsy! I kept having bad runs, and kept telling myself that the next one was going to be a good one, and then it sucked, or if it didn't suck something hurt or I was slower than I wanted to be. Then I started skipping runs. Then I got frustrated at myself for skipping runs.<BR/><BR/>How did I get my mojo back? I ran a marathon in only 1 minute over my PR at the end of that horrible season. Now I'm excited again and can't wait for the 3 races I have lined up in April and May. And whereas I was looking at one more TNT season and then a break, I'm excited for next year's Shamrock Marathon, and it's only been 9 days since this year's!<BR/><BR/>I hope your slump doesn't last as long as mine did, but I have no doubt you will find the thing that will pull you out of it!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09296339082945982074noreply@blogger.com
